sociolinguitic theory has other mini theories embedded in it and it is a proper linguistic theory.
Socio-linguistic Maturation is a theory proposed by Paul Kerswill. It states that as you grow older you become less susceptible to the influences of slang on your spoken language. Basically it means when you get older you don't pick up slang words and start using them in your speech as easily as you would if you were younger.
Sociolinguistic engineering refers to intentional efforts to influence language use and behavior within a society or community. This can involve promoting certain languages or dialects, shaping language policies, or influencing language attitudes to achieve specific social or political goals.
The two main types of linguistic competence are generative grammatical competence and communicative sociolinguistic competence. Generative grammatical competence refers to the ability to produce and understand grammatically correct sentences, while communicative sociolinguistic competence involves understanding and appropriately using language in different social contexts.
Sociolinguistic studies contribute to language teaching by helping educators understand how language is used in different social contexts and by different groups of speakers. This knowledge can inform the development of inclusive and culturally relevant language teaching materials and approaches. It also helps teachers better address language variation and diversity in the classroom.
Transformational generative grammar is a theory of grammar that aims to explain how native speakers generate and understand sentences. It focuses on transformational rules that generate sentences and transform them into different forms. This theory emphasizes the innate knowledge of language in humans and the idea that there is a universal grammar underlying all languages.

Sociolinguistic relativity refers to the set of conventions, rules and patterns unique to a community which they use in conducting communication.
Language choice in sociolinguistic will give the speaker a valuable edge. It will place one in an advantageous position in communication within group or within a wider social context due to the fluency in the language.
the ability to communicate with different people, from different social groups
This is the theory of Lamarck and it is long refuted.
Larmark's theory was based on the idea that organisms inherited characteristics that they had acquired in life - so, if you have a scar your offspring will have scars. Darwin's theory assumed that offspring inherited characteristics from their parents, but they were more likely to survive to breed if there was advantage to those characteristics.

He didn't. Lamark's theory of acquired characteristics preceded Darwin's theory by some years. Almost 50 years.

French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of evolution conflicted with Darwin's theory. Lamarck proposed that acquired characteristics could be passed down to offspring, while Darwin's theory emphasized natural selection and gradual change over generations.
